The research area of motor control has become an increasingly
multidisciplinary undertaking. Understanding the acquisition
and performance of voluntary movements in biological and artificial
systems requires the integration of knowledge from a range of
disciplines such as neurophysiology, kinesiology, neuroscience,
robotics, psychology, nonlinear dynamics, biomechanics, and
biology. The conference Progress in Motor Control V aims
to bring together researchers from this wide range of disciplines
to discuss the control and coordination of processes involved
in perceptually guided actions.
The three-day conference will be organized into seven symposia
on cutting-edge topics. Seven researchers from different disciplines
will chair a symposium of four to five speakers each. A panel
discussion will conclude each symposium. There will be two three-hour-long
poster sessions, one on each conference day, allowing attendees
ample time to present their own work and engage in informal
interactions. Abstract submissions for paper presentations are
invited from participants at all levels.
